THE COVER: One of the most delightful photographs of Queen Salote to come out of Tonga for some time is this portrait of the Queen receiving in July a gift from the British Colonial Office on behalf of the Tonga Broadcasting Commission. Tonga's new station, ZCO, "The Voice of the Friendly Islands" was officially opened by Queen Salote on July 4, and among those present was Mr. P. D. Macdonald, the Acting Governor of Fiji, here seen making the presentation (of an album of records) inside the Royal Palace at Nukualofa.

Rob Wright, who took the photograph, has for many years recorded all the important events of Tonga—including the R °Yfl /our ot Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh in 1954.
